Recommended Recipients Of Zakat
Who are the recommended recipients of zakat?
It is recommended to give zakat to deserving (non-dependent) family and relatives, including brothers, sisters, uncles, aunts, nephews, nieces, step-parents and foster parents; which carries the dual reward of paying zakat and assisting one’s kin.

It is recommended to give zakat in one's area (and offensive not to), unless recipients in another area are more deserving (such as victims of war, zakat eligible relatives, students of Sacred Law, military jihad soldiers fighting intruders, etc.)
